Imaging finding of multiple myeloma presenting as soft-tissue disease mimicking extrapleural space tumors: A case report.
Hee KangPublished in: Acta radiologica open (2024)
Extramedullary involvement of multiple myeloma is an uncommon and aggressive condition characterized by proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells located outside the bone marrow. This report describes the imaging findings of a patient who presented with continuous soft-tissue disease on the ribs, suspected as extrapleural space tumors on chest CT. The patient was diagnosed with multiple myeloma through surgical biopsy of the tumor and bone marrow.
